Nov 2025 Inks
Hey everyone,Here's the inked version of this month's comic page. Most of the panels have been pretty much repurposed from the first strip since it runs along the same arc. We'll be moving onto new assets in the following month once this is colored and released.This week has been weirdly busy - just completed the last of my exams on Thursday, finishing up my last shift for the Singapore Writer's Festival as a volunteer Sunday and caught up with some really socially draining interviews that mostly lead to nowhere.I'm hoping t...
Nov 2025 Draft
Hey everyone,Thank you for your support through the month of October. Above is the draft preview for this month's comic strip. With groundwork laid out from the previous comic, it'll be easier and faster to produce the current arc while making room to prepare new art assets.With the short-format 4-panel comics acting as a production buffer, I've been toying with different ideas, formats and structures that align better with my current state of mind. Below is a test run for next year's project. I've refocused my efforts on pr...
Oct 2025 Final
HewwoThank you everyone for your patience, here's this month's completed comic strip! I'm still trying to pick up the pace on my end - been encountering weird driver issues with my Wacom Intuos Pro 4, especially since big corp has stopped supporting Windows 10 Home... All of which to say that it should serve as a stronger motivation to get my Patreon back up and running - I certainly need the funds for hardware and software upgrades which won't be cheap. Gonna set aside some financial goals for 2026. I should be dropping another...
Oct 2025 Inks
Hey everyone!Here's the inked version of this month's strip. To be honest, it's been really rough with the voices in my head - telling me that this strip is really dumb - and I've been fighting them off (as with various other things) these past few months. I've taken the deliberate approach of allowing myself to produce "dumb" strips for now, if only to buy time to figure out how I'm going to work around all my rewired neurons - this year's self-critical voices have been particularly potent, and my sudden los...
Oct 2025 Draft
HEWWOThank you for your patience and understanding these past few months. As my third semester pursuing a communications degree draws to a close, I'm restarting my Patreon projects and ramping up on production towards the end of the year. Some of you may have noticed Patreon billings resume this month, and that is simply because I'm diving back in as a full-time cartoonist / content creator / career-lattice navigator / whatever it is they call it these days.To start, here's the first comic strip that I'll be progressively inking...
Sep 2025 Diary
Hi everyone,Thanks for sticking around! While I continue preparing the groundwork for the next project phases, I just wanted to drop in to share some thoughts and maybe discuss a couple of choices. For most of August, I'd been busy with an "internship" that was just less than pleasant to talk about - mostly as a financial stop gap to cover for this uncertain period will my Patreon billing has been paused. Fortunately, a friend recently shared a news article online that explains what I had been this past month, and pretty much encaps...
Aug 2025 Updates
Hi everyone,Just wanted to drop in real quick to let everyone know how things have been on my end. For the most part, it's been really soul-crushing working as an intern story editor for an AI slop company. Thankfully, this torment ends by 30 Aug and hopefully I'll be able to swing back into things that really matter. August has also been the start of my 3rd semester in university. I'm expecting to clear most of my assignments by the end of August just as well and hope to resume comic production throughout the month of September.Bil...
Aug 2025 Dev Diary
Hi everyone,Thank you so much for your patience. As I've shared in my last update, there will be some major changes going on around here while I pivot towards a completely different strategy. My third semester as a Communications major student starts this month and I've been busy restructuring my schedule and routines around the upcoming classes and assignments. The semester concludes with written examinations in November, after which I'll be heading up to Malaysia to attend FURUM and catch up with friends there for the holidays.Som...
Meatier Showers: Gains - 06 Final
HEWWOWith that, our short weight-gain comic project comes to its conclusion. Starting 7 July, I'll be freezing Patreon billing as I start to shift gears into the next project. As mentioned in a recent development diary, there's been some new life changes that have very much forced me to review things. I'll be needing time from now till August to prepare material for the next phase and have some working prototype just to give everyone a better idea of what to expect once billing resumes in September.Once again, thank you for being a ...
July 2025 Dev Diary
Hi everyone, Thank you for your support and patience over these past 6 months for my latest comic project. Things are very different now froHi everyone,Thank you for your support and patience over these past 6 months for my latest comic project. Things are very different now from when I first started the short-format project, which has left me deliberating over how best to move forward for the next chapter.By no means of exaggeration, I've spent a good deal of the past 4 decades in a constant, low-key state of fight or flight modes. This wa...
Meatier Showers: Gains - 06 Inks
HEWWOAnd with this page, we've more or less reached the conclusion of this mini-series. Based on the last update, I did a page flip for reasons of continuity. I honestly don't think there's much dialogue required for this pin-up, especially since the visuals do most of the talking. I've been putting off my personal life updates (originally slated for the 10 this month) mostly because they are difficult conversations to have. Once I wrap everything up on 5 July 2025, I should hopefully be more ready to just lay it all out and see...
Meatier Showers: Gains - 06 Draft
HEWWOThank you everyone for your patience! While I'm still contemplating on how best to articulate my thoughts on future updates, please enjoy this month's early access preview. This marks the last page in my short format feeder-gainer comic project and is personally one of my favorite drawings so far. Stay swole and take care~SnaresJun 2025

HEWWOHere's the cleaned up version of the latest page of Snares wobbling from all the food!Not sure if I'd gotten too carried away with the nips or not - though I've tried to tone it down just a bit. Anyway, lettered page will drop 5 June 2025!SnaresMay 2025
Meatier Showers: Gains - 05 Draft
HEWWOThank you everyone for your input in my recent development diary. As of this writing, I am less inclined to work on yet another muscle growth, inflation or weight gain comic having only just done them in the last few projects here. For now, my intuition is leaning towards a slice-of-life-but-hyper short story for the upcoming project, sprinkled with a more moderated touch of muscle gain. However, until I can finalize my thumbnails, I am not confident with sharing too many details that may still be subject to big changes.This leads me to sh...
May 2025 Dev Diary
Hewwo!It's crazy to think that about a year ago, I had a similar impulse to drop a development diary here. These past few weeks, I’ve been struggling on how best to articulate my thoughts and feelings regarding the next project. Historically, I have the most confidence in stories where I can dive into my mind’s theatre and “exist” in the space of my characters, watching things play out naturally with a few improv prompts. Since March, it feels like something in me broke, whether it had been from all the trials and tribulations befor...

Meatier Showers: Gains - 04 Inks
HEWWOYou may recall from our previous sneak preview of page 4 where Pridestar is alerted to a surprise pizza delivery. I was so busy trying to put things together that I had overlooked the break in continuity from page 3where Pridestar is always facing right towards Snares and vice versa. It's a general rule of thumb to follow especially working on screen to help differentiate the movement of various characters. Realizing the error of my oversight, I've done a few panel flips to correct the flow of action:Now just pretend none of you no...
Meatier Showers: Gains - 04 Draft
HEWWOThank you everyone for your patience! This week, we take a sneak peek of what's installed for page 4! While the draft dialogue indicates that Snares had "forgotten" to cancel his order or pizza, this will be revised (for better context) to Snares having ordered more food (while Pridestar was away looking for a step ladder).

HEWWOThank you for your patience and support. In our last update, we had a sneak peek at how large our lifeguard lion was ballooning into. I'm happy to share that the inks have been completed and here's how it looks:The final version with text and dialogue will be dropping on 5 April, with the next draft page slated for 15 April.

Meatier Showers: Gains - 02 Final
HEWWOIn our early access preview, you'll have seen Pridestar patiently stuffing his gainer lion subject in the sketch phase. With the dialogues now added it, we now know that Pridestar checks in regularly with Snares the Lifeguard Lion to make sure he's happy and doing okay during the feeding process. Especially with Snares being mute, I feel that communication is key to creating safe spaces in such scenes.Content LineupIf you're reading this for free, please consider joining us today for more behind-the-scenes developments and upda...

HEWWOAs February draws to an end, I just wanted to take this time to give everyone an update how the progress of Meatier Showers: Gains! Between freelance and university work, I've been pushing myself to get as much done as possible. There'll be some changes to the content rollout as mentioned earlier, which I'll go into greater detail in next month's development diary. For now, here's a look at how page 2 is coming along!The final public release version (with dialogues and gray tones) will be out soon together with the deve...
Meatier Showers: Gains - 02 Draft
HEWWOThank you being back with us on this ride. I hope you all enjoyed the first inked page. As mentioned earlier, I am still trying to iron out a content rollout schedulethat works for me, given that the project is rebooting from scratch. More time will be needed for the full-color version of page 1, instead, I'll be releasing the draft for page 2 as part of early access for supporters like you.Meatier Showers: Gains - Page 02What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day together than stuffing your loved one with lots of noms?

Meatier Showers: Gains - 01 Final
HEWWOIt's feeding time for the Lifeguard Lion and Pridestar is more than happy to volunteer! As mentioned in an earlier post, today we are sharing the first public release of this year's short format comic project, Meatier Showers: Gains! You'll be surprised to know that despite having done this year after year, I am still filled with anxiety about rebooting and relaunching the project after a series of disruptions from last year. I hope you like this littler reboot while I find my rhythm! Stick around for the full-colored version e...
Feb 2025 Lineup
Build Back BiggerThank you everyone for your patience, understanding and support. It's been well over a month since I moved into my new home and have mostly settled down. 2024 has been a disruptive year to say the least. While I'm not here to dredge up the past and overanalyze things, I am here to share that rebooting my Patreon is in part an effort to rebuild my life and normalcy. I hope that you will continue to join me on my journey as I figure things out both creatively and spiritually.Next week, you can expect to read the first pag...
Meatier Showers: Gains - 01 Draft
Hi everyone~The past few weeks have been hectic! I managed to move into our new home on Christmas Eve and have since been trying to settle in as quickly as possible. Cleared 2 freelance jobs and am working on some furry commissions to get things back up in order. I was initially going to present another infographic about production plans and such, but I figured it would only add to the confusion of things. Rather than talk about what I intend to do, here's what you can expect to see for the next 6 months:Meatier Showers: Gains - Page 01Movi...
New Home Studio
Hi everyone!I know it’s been a long while you’ve heard anything from me (there’s been no shortage of crazy this year.) We returned from our end-of-year holiday on the 5 Dec, since then, I took up 2 surprise freelance gigs to cover household items for our new home. With work now done and household stuff paid for (oof) we’ve been scrambling between IKEA and Nitori trying to set up and move into the new place by Christmas. I’m happy to now say that I’ll be spending my first night at our new home for Christmas Eve and slowly setting up ...
Quick Update
Hewwo!I hope this message finds you well. For those of you following me on Bluesky, you'll know that I'll be ending my current full-time employment on the 12 Nov 2024. This means I'm already planning for the transitional phase ahead where I switch back to Patreon full-time. This is good news for everyone who's been waiting on content. There's really been A LOT that's transpired since 29 Apr 2024, more so than I have the time to properly articulate, so I'll just do what I always do, which is tumbling forward.I do ask ...
